About this listen

Mainly political, but not always; I hope you’ll find whatever I talk about both entertaining and educational. The name is from a weekly column I wrote in the early 90s, and is a subtle reference to my being “behind enemy lines” - a (then) Republican surrounded by Democrats; that situation has worsened, as I now watch both Democrats & RINOs they slowly turn The Garden State into a Shithole...I believe in true Republican Principles, not in the Establishment GOP these days. So I describe myself as a Constitutional Conservative Libertarian. And thankfully, I’m not as alone as I once thought.Roy Pitta’s The View From Here Political Science Politics & Government

  • Does the SBA really help Small Business? Sometimes...
    Jan 9 2026

    The SBA (Small Business Administration) was created in 1953, with the intent of providing loans to small businesses (of which there are an estimated 3.4 million these days), and also to give Small Businesses the opportunity to bid on and get Contracts with the different Federal Government Agencies (of which there are far more than the Founding Fathers intended).

    Whereas common sense should place the maximum number of employees at somewhere under 100 in order to be considered "small", the actual number used these days became the standard benchmark.

    We spoke with Bruce De Torres, Director of Communications for the American Small Business League (https://asbl.com/).

    Bruce also hosts the American Small Business Podcast

    He is the author of the book, God, School, 9/11 and JFK: The Lies That Are Killing Us and The Truth That Sets Us Free, available on Amazon:

    Bruce is also deeply involved with Don't Cheat Women, which is designed to help women navigate the SBA maze, and generally offer assistance for women looking to start their own business. That websithttps://www.dontcheatwomen.com/

    Bruce joins us to speak about how the SBA has veered from its original intent, and how most of its loans are made to large corporations/businesses, and that, while Small Businesses are supposed to get a higher percentage of government contracts, it is indeed LARGE businesses (or their smaller but affiliated/owned companies that get the lion's share of these contracts. He also speaks about how women are still being shortchanged and why Don't Cheat Women exists.

    We get into the Digitalization of IDs and Currency; how the Federal Bureaucrats are mismanaging the SBA; the Phony Pandemic and its attack on Small Business and the Middle Class; and lots more.

  • LETTS Lets Loose: Capture of Venezuelan Docs reveals widespread U.S. Congressional Corruption
    Jan 7 2026

    On our first Episode of 2026:

    Michael Letts returns to the podcast to discuss the capture of drug kingpin and Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, and the ramifications that will have on our enemies, and even on our own country.

    It looks as though the Swamp is dirtier and more Infested than anyone thought, and the Corruption of our Congress involves hundreds - in both Parties. (though Democrats have a somewhat larger edge).

    We started off by discussing January 6th and the Insurrection That Never Was, and then the January 6th Committee, a group of Traitors who ended up condemning Patriots who had gone to DC to air their grievances - as specifically permitted by our Constitution - but who were pushed into rioting by over 250 embedded FBI agitators and unwarranted tear gas and rubber bullet attacks by Capitol Police, sparking the violent response that followed. That effectively stopped the crowd from doing what it had gathered for: to STOP the Certification of the "election" of Joe Biden until such time as an Investigation could be competed to determine the validity of the election results.

    He also points out that the Committee refused to call the man who had been head of the Capitol Police the day of the riot, because he had been sacked fired rom his position for stating publicly that he had requested National Guard reinforcements be deployed before the Demonstration, but that Pelosi and the DC Police Chief denied his request...

    We talked a little about Michael Letts' current passion, INVESTUSA.ORG, a 501C-3 Charity he heads, which provides bulletproof vests for police (and now firemen) across the country, through public donations.

    Letts then reveals that he has seen a list captured along with Maduro, basically a record of corrupt American Officials on Maduro's "payroll", and while he is waiting for official verification before releasing any names, he does state that of the 535 members of Congress (both houses), well over 400 of them are implicated in Venezuelan-based the corruption, and that the Administration and the DOJ will be digging deeper into this rampant corruption, probably releasing names over a period of time, rather then all at once, so as not to cause total Chaos in our government...

    He also agreed with my assessment that every House and Senate seat should be primaried once names are released, so as to rid our government of this Corruption which has been bankrupting and sabotaging the nation.

    Letts also talks about the distinct possibility of Military Tribunals being convened, how we now have proof that Venezuela interfered in elections in 73 countries around the world...and that the election of 2020 was indeed rigged - by Venezuela.

    You'll be amazed at the information we cover in this episode, and appalled at their implications.

    Including the fact that a well-known Democrat Fundraising group will be revealed as a money laundering operation.

    A Reckoning is coming in 2026.
